Comments

We are still making good time to Davis with both engines running.
Our current ETA at Davis is for Thu 18 at 15:00LT.
Tasmanian State elections went well with 16 Tasmanians voting. Each ballot paper was scanned and then emailed with the voters details to the electoral office, the scanned copy and email were then deleted and the paper ballot posted in a ballot box to be returned to the electoral office later in the month.
As I type, King Neptune arises from the deep to welcome (or otherwise) the newcomers to the southern oceans. Tomorrow we’ll be going full steam ahead with toolbox meetings and training session for our arrival t Davis.
